I left my home in norfolk virginia, california on my mind. | |
Straddled that greyhound, it rode me past raleigh, and on across caroline. | |
Stopped in charlotte and bypassed rock hill, and we never was a minute late. | |
We was ninety miles out of atlanta by sundown, rollin' 'cross the georgia state. | |
Had motor trouble it turned into a struggle, half way 'cross alabam, | |
The 'hound broke down left us all stranded in downtown birmingham. | |
Straight off bought me a through train ticket, right across mississippi clean | |
And i was on the midnight flyer out of birmingham | |
Smoking into new orleans. | |
Somebody help me get out of louisiana | |
Just help me get to houston town. | |
People are there who care a little 'bout me | |
And they won't let the poor boy down. | |
Sure as she bore me, she bought me a silk suit, put luggage in my hands, | |
And i woke up high over albuquerque | |
On a jet to the promised land. | |
Workin' on a t-bone steak a la carte, | |
Flying over to the golden state; | |
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes | |
We'd be headin' in the terminal gate. | |
Swing low sweet chariot, come down easy | |
Taxi to the terminal zone; | |
Cut your engines, cool your wings, | |
And let me make it to the telephone. | |
Los angeles give me norfolk virginia, | |
Tidewater four ten on nine | |
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin' | |
And the poor boy's on the line. |
